Description
If you're an Indian woman and old enough to legally bear children, chances are that an overweight relative has asked you, while fondly stroking their pot belly, 'When am I going to eat at your wedding?'The modern Indian woman's attitude to marriage*and especially to arranged marriage*is a confused one. As traditional matchmaking methods and internet chat rooms come together to build matrimonial websites, our parameters have changed, but the time-honoured practice of arranged marriage sticks. Hitched explores in depth the considerations matrimony should involve, and the issues that can crop up at different stages of an arranged marriage. A cross-section of women*those who married young, married late, married the first man their parents parked before them, or married out of caste in an arranged setup*open up about experiences ranging from the frightening to the hilarious and the awww-inspiring.
